About our bath re-enamelling in Upleadon
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Common problems we fix in Upleadon
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Look out for these signs:
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Questions from Upleadon
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Upleadon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upleadon
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upleadon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
